 Corporation Stock
The capital that a corporation raises by issuing stock is referred to as contributed capital.
However, the rights associated with common stock are usually subordinate to those of preferred stock with regard to dividends and proceeds from corporate liquidation.
When a corporation reacquires its own capital stock, the reacquired stock is referred to as "treasury stock." Treasury stock does not have voting privileges or rights to dividends.

 Stock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Common stock, also referred to as common shares or ordinary shares, are, as the name implies, the most usual and commonly held form of stock in a corporation.
Stock futures are contracts where the buyer, or long, takes on the obligation to buy on the contract maturity date, and the seller, or short takes on the obligation to sell.
Thus, the value of a stock option changes in reaction to the underlying stock of which it is a derivative.

 [No title]
But those who have rejected this definition of capital have usually done so, not on the ground that it was unfitted to solve the "problems of capital," but that it was too radical a departure from established usage; in other words, because it failed to satisfy the requirements, not of science, but of terminology.
The issue is thus squarely presented whether the application of the term "capital" to "a stock of wealth existing at an instant of time" is good terminology, and, in particular, whether it is consistent with or in violation of former usage.
His capital is therefore identical with one of my senses of capital; namely, "capital-value."(42*) In a very excellent paper,(43*) which has recently appeared, Fetter emphasizes, with Clark, the fact that rent and interest apply equally to all goods, the one to the things themselves, the other to their value.

 Stock Buybacks, Stock Options, and Capital Flows
Between 1980 and 2000, rising stock prices were driven by companies spending more than one trillion dollars to take their stocks off the market, thereby creating a shortage at a time when small investors were buying mutual funds through payroll deductions and 401(k) plans.
The fraud inherent in stock buyback schemes is simply that management, supported by fund managers with the voting rights of beneficial owners, use company funds to valorize stock options for their personal gain, ignoring their fiduciary duty to the ultimate owners, and disguising their scheme with false statements and misleading arguments.
Stock buybacks are unfair, but as long as most investors are unaware of this, the practice is likely to continue.

 Walras's Progressive Theory of Capital
Capital, he argued, was not "used up" in the production process, but rather provided "services" and it was these services that entered the production process.
The "demand" for capital services is merely the consumers' demand for an amorphous commodity he called "savings in general" which arise from consumers' desires to transfer some amount of current purchasing power to demand future goods and services.
This would require capital demands to be dependent on future demands, etc., which brings in expectations and thus might imply the concept of a temporary sequential equilibrium in a growing economy.

The combined value of capital stocks for other modes of the transportation system, including rail, water, air, pipeline, and transit, is less than the value of consumer motor vehicles alone (figure 82).
Capital stock is a commonly used economic measure of the capacity of the transportation system.

 Capital formation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It basically refers to the net additions to the (physical) capital stock in an accounting period, or, to the value of the increase of the capital stock; though it may occasionally also refer to the total stock of capital formed.
During an accounting period, additions may be made to capital assets (including those which are of a type that disproportionately increase the value of the capital stock) and capital assets are also disposed of; at the same time, physical assets also incur depreciation or Consumption of fixed capital.
Starting off from a benchmark stock value for capital held, and expressing all values in constant dollars using a price index, additions to the stock are added, and disposals as well as depreciation are subtracted year by year (or quarter by quarter).

 Socialism and Capital Stock - Mises Institute

The problem was that the capital stock clearly was not maintaining itself, as Knight had claimed it would.
